Chris Fearne defends criticised robots at Mater Dei Hospital

Aug 24 2021

Following complaints by the Malta Union for Midwives and Nurses about Mater Dei robots Mario and Sophia, health minister Chris Fearne stated that the technology in fact increased efficiency in the wards, contrary to the union’s complaints. Speaking during a press conference this morning, Fearne stated that when a system is changed, such pushback is always to be expected. Despite providing adaptive challenges in the short term, the technology, according to Fearne, clarified that the system was introduced to help and not replace nurses.

The MUMN has called the multi-million euro project was a total failure. Having been introduced to remove all human error, the system was reported to fail frequently in providing the correct dosages for patient medicine. Fearne disagreed with this statement, saying that the system actually improved Mater Dei’s functioning in all the wards it was introduced to. The health minister also disputed the claim that the Health Division is in denial and would not admit to using 25 million Euros of tax payer money on the machines. Fearne said this was false and the government had not yet paid anything for the system.

Facebook page set up to complete the late Julian Spiteri’s bucket list goals

Late Julian Spiteri’s bucket list goals to be completed by NGO

Aug 24 2021

19-year-old Julian Spiteri passed away suddenly in a car accident back in April, leaving the whole country shocked. Having written a bucket list at the age of 17, family and friends have taken it upon themselves to finish off what Julian dreamed about doing in his life, by setting up a Facebook page that was appropriately and beautifully called ‘Julian’s Bucket List Challenge’. It is set to launch with a Malta-Gozo swim scheduled for the 2nd of September.

The organisers will be donating all proceeds to the Ladybird foundation this year. The swim was one of Julian’s many goals, and is set to be completed by around 15 to 20 swimmers and around 20 kayakers made up of his friends, family and even some strangers. The list also included things like getting a PhD, seeing the Northern Lights and even milking a cow. This initiative is giving the opportunity for people to honour the young man whose time was cut short by ticking off as many items off the bucket list.

Huge Sony deal for local musician Luke Chappell

Aug 24 2021

After local artist Luke Chappell posted a TikTok video of himself singing Hold On, a record deal was sent to him shortly after his huge success with his other single Lonely Again. The singer revealed that he is immensely blessed to have arrived to such a place through his art and music, despite having gone through some difficult moments. He opened up in a statement revealing how the only way for him to deal with emotions properly is by writing them in a journal and then turning them into lyrics.

Chappell’s headline hits came following his X-Factor debut, but he is now moving out of the competitions’ shadow to become something completely new. Thanks to his talent management Paul Leger, the deal with Sony was struck, opening up more doors for Chappell to test his artistic capabilities. As this goes on, he is also set to release more music as he works with Insynk Collective Studios. Depending on agreements with Sony, he is also set to drop a massive project later on this year.
